   there is a switch I believe around the handbrake which may need adjusting / replacing.

   Tighten the handbrake bolts thier under the car. Mines use to do the exact same as yours and after a tighten it was perfect and has kept the light off for over a year now

   theres a button which the handbrake sits on when off turning the handbrake light off when the hand brake is off, check that the button or the wires going into the button arnt lose/split
